Daniel Cormier aiming for fight at UFC on FOX Sports 1 1 in Boston

Officials have promised a stacked lineup for the debut UFC on FOX Sports 1 event, though the August show still could use a big-name headliner. However, one notable fighter recently offered his services.

Cormier (12-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC), a former Strikeforce standout who recently made a successful UFC debut with a win over Frank Mir at UFC on FOX 7, hasn’t decided if he’ll stay at heavyweight or make a long-discussed cut to light heavyweight. However, the Olympic wrestler looked noticeably slimmer during his FUEL TV spot. Additionally, UFC President Dana White has given the fighter an added incentive by suggesting Cormier could get an immediate title shot at light heavyweight.

Regardless, the addition of Cormier would added some solid star power to FOX Sports 1, which will become the new home for UFC events that currently air on FX and FUEL TV. The latter will be eliminated (with the SPEED channel) when FOX Sports 1 and FOX Sports 2 launch this summer.

UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey is probably the greatest female fighter on the planet, which is a tremendous feat. So why are we seemingly so obsessed with arguing about whether she could beat up men?
